Purple Lipstick by Make Up Forever


This is an old lipstick by Make Up Forever. Not sure when I got it, but I've surely put it to use. I bought it at the Sephora on 34th (between 6th & 7th).  Sometimes, I give my lips a couple of quick swipes and it's a pinkish purple. If I want it really dark & Intense, I just pile it on and top it with a lipgloss to give it luster. It's really matte is the only thing but gloss will do the trick
-- just depends on the look you're going for.  

I forget why I wanted a purple lip so badly, but it was so hard for me to decide. As an admitted label whore, I kept running back and forth between Sephora and the MAC at Macy's. At the end of the day, you've got to purchase the COLOR that looks best on you, not the brand. MAC's colors just weren't what I was looking for. They weren't bright enough for my skintone, and I wanted something obviously purple. I'd also browsed through the other counters (YLS, Dior & Chanel) but no one had a tone for me. I ended up purchasing this one & I'm super happy with it. It'll run you $19.



Mascara by @MallyBeauty

Mally's Volumizing Mascara - $20


       I'm a natural kinda girl. I like to look as much like myself as possible... but I don't mind being pretty sometimes. I don't wear much make-up but chap stick and mascara.  Not because I have anything against it... I simply don't have the time nor place... nor skill. lol. Mascara, though, I can't live without.   We were on our way to Day 2 of Jay-Z's Made in America festival and as I checked my hair in the mirror, there was no lack of volume there, but something fell flat: My lashes. Lashes are the one thing I can't seem to leave the house without touching. Even if I put nothing else on, mascara changes your entire eye shape. & Yes, the mascara does make a difference. When all else fails, I turn to Maybelline's Great Lash in Blackest Black ($6.40). It does it's job. But the price keeps going up on that bad boy, so I usually only buy when they're buy one/get one. I've tried DiorShow ($25), the other most reknown mascara, (personally) I'm not the biggest fan. Diorshow lengthens slightly, but doesn't give me the depth and thickness I like. The MAC Zoom Lash ($16) I bought dried out far too quickly & there's nothing I can do but wait until I have enough empty tubes to trade in for a lip gloss.

"Do you have masacara," I turned to ask the ladies in the back seat. & that's when @QnAllDay pulled out my fav new product. & told me I could keep it *heart flutters* *blows kisses*

Mally Beauty was founded in 2005 by celebrity makeup artists, Mally Roncal who has worked with the likes of BeyoncĂ© and Jennifer Lopez. I'd mention more names, but do I really need to? The reason I liked this mascara is because it's creamy and smooth. It actually covers my lashes without adding too much weight or making them clump together. The brush is also really nice: round and fluffy. A "hard brush" never ever feels good. Never ever. I liked the creamy feel because I wear masacar every day and --stupid as it might sound-- I was afraid of my lashes drying out. They would just feel hard by the end of the day. With Mally $20, if I rub, it will smudge (as opposed to crumble). Anyhow, figured I'd tell you about my random little love affair with Mally's mascara. This is my vote!  <3 


Enjoy!
